This short animated fiction book describes a woman named Rebecca and her experiences of family violence. This book presents her journey as she moves from victim to survivor to social activist. A structural feminist analysis of the root causes of family violence and interventions and strategies to assist survivors of family violence are highlighted. Geared to assist survivors of violence and service users, students who are learning about abuse, and clinicians/practitioners who are working in this area, specific information discussing the cycle of violence, stages of coping, feminist interventions, safety planning, and treatment for men is featured. In addition, suggestions for the prevention of family violence at cultural, political, and social levels are presented.The authors use 2 different writing styles within this text. Rebecca's actual story about her family is written at a grade 7 literacy level to make this book more accessible to a broad segment of the general public. At the same time, specific sections featuring theory, analysis, assessment, and intervention have been written with clinical practitioners and professional helpers in mind.

Abstract: Over the last few years, higher education has been transformed by numerous technologies available for course content delivery. Whereas university instructors once asked, "Should I deliver course content online?" the emphasis has shifted so that instructors are now asking, "Which technology works best for which desired teaching outcome?," "Which technology can I quickly learn?," and "Which technology can I manage (while fulfilling my research and service duties)?" To answer these questions, the authors used and evaluated 10 different online instructional technology tools, analyzing each one's potential application in communication courses to address Angelo's four dimensions of higher learning (declarative, procedural, conditional, and reflective). The tools are compared and contrasted to assist university instructors in making informed decisions about which to use in their courses.Volume 8, No. 4, December 2012, pp. 334-347HTML / PDF

This case study describes the journey of revising an online health care ethics course in an accelerated nursing program. The primary goal was to incorporate additional opportunities for fostering critical thinking along with updating the course design to reflect the university's standard of academic rigor. This required health care ethics course has been known to be challenging from the student's perspective, due not only to the volume of the work involved, but also to the inclusion of sensitive topics that are addressed such as beginning of life issues and whistle-blowing. The revisions, constructed from student feedback, were aimed at stimulating critical thinking, providing spaces for reflection, and adding engaging activities that could solidify concept acquisition while reducing both redundancy and temptations to participate in academic dishonesty.

It is widely recognized that good teaching includes instructor-student feedback, and in online courses, feedback takes a variety of forms, including both synchronous and asynchronous interactions. To understand better the types and frequency of instructor-student feedback interactions, this case study used document analysis to examine feedback in an online course over a full semester. Feedback interactions were coded as either individual or team feedback and also then coded as either corrective, motivational, or technology-related. With 1,744 recorded instructor-student feedback interactions, corrective feedback accounted for nearly 70% of all feedback (given more often to teams than individuals); motivational feedback was 20% (given more often to individuals than teams); and technology feedback was 10% (given more often to individuals than teams). Additionally, feedback differed over the duration of the semester, with motivational feedback being the greatest at the beginning of the term. An examination of individual versus team differences revealed that teams tended to receive a greater amount of corrective feedback, whereas individuals required greater motivational feedback. Implications of the study include that instructors may not be conscious of the proportions of corrective versus motivational feedback to their online students. Instructors are also encouraged to take certain measures to reduce the burden of technology feedback required of the instructor, since students will constantly demand such non-pedagogical assistance.

This paper presents the results of a quantitative, descriptive correlational study that included K-12 public school teachers that had participated in in-service professional development courses offered through an e-learning program. The results of the study indicated that K-12 e-learning professional development courses in which teachers participated aligned with three domains of quality instruction as defined by three sets of professional standards. Five recommendations for future research are presented. This study can inform professional development providers, designers, and potential participants on the efficacy of e-learning professional development offerings.
